From IIChan Translation Group: Yet another maid-tastic manga from Kaoru Mori, "Shirley" is an evocative glimpse into the daily life of winsome, 13-year-old Shirley, a maid in turn-of-the-century England. It is often compared to Yokahama Kaidashi Kikou, as both mangas feature languid pacing, atmospheric backgrounds, and a female main character who works in a cafe. If you like YKK, have a weakness for "cute," and/or have a maid fetish, this is the manga for you. No hentai, no fanservice, zero, zip, nada. Just pure maid-tastic moemoe.
A continuation of the manga series Shirley. It began in October 2006 in the Comic Beam Fellows! magazine, the next couple chapters were released in 2010 in the Fellows! magazine. After another hiatus two more chapters were released in Harta magazine in the issues of March and April of 2013. It has no connection with the other maid story of the author, also Emma is a Victorian Maid, but Shirley is a Edwardian Maid.
